Hi all,

Thought I’d break with my recent lazy tradition and actually announce an MOC. The above is a fairly simply designed Australian worker’s cottage: a style of house quite common in certain suburbs of Australian cities.

As some people know I’ve long been advocating a more Australian style in Australian LTC layouts. As such I tried to keep it fairly simple with limited use of special bricks in the hopes that people might be inspired to build their own versions (or mine if they so wish). Instructions and more pics will come soon.

Tim

Onya Tim! Love it! My missus also highly approves!

The Hills Hoist in the background is *awesome* - all it needs is a kid swinging
off the hoist! :-P

I'm actually working on a new town module for the 2009 SLTC layout, and if you
don't mind, I'd like to use your design to make up a little slice of Aussie
suburbia for our layout :-)

Cheers,
J.P. Manalo

I needed the wikipedia entry to figure out what kind of contraption that was.
A nice model, it also reminds me to the kind of houses of wich so many were destroyed by the “Catrina” floodings (and partly also by the subsequent real estate position takings) in New Orleans.

With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

We had one of those clotheslines when I was a kid - very fun to play with - so spinny...dad was always having to straighten out the bars for some reason ;^)
